B. The following description is an outline of the work to be accomplished. The Scope of Work is as described in this document and any addenda issued by the Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA). No drawings or technical specifications are provided. Bidders are responsible for verifying existing site conditions during the mandatory pre-bid site visit.

C.

Following demolition, all excavated voids resulting from the removal of substructures shall be backfilled using structural, non-expansive road-base or granular borrow (Class A-1, A-1-a or A-1-b), and lot should be graded to match surrounding levels. All excavations requiring replacement fill of 24" or more shall be compacted to 90% maximum dry density.

Independent, third-party testing is required following compaction of the first lift to verify compaction methods are sufficient to achieve the required density.

CONTRACTOR will be responsible for public safety on and surrounding project properties, providing appropriate barricades or fencing for pedestrian safety during demolition. If the demolition is to take more than 10 days on any site, CONTRACTOR shall install a temporary fence around the perimeter of the property.
